Isaiah 20:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 20:5

3 Then the Lord said, “Just as My servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years ^afor a sign and a wonder against Egypt and Ethiopia,

4 so shall the ^aking of Assyria lead away the Egyptians as prisoners and the Ethiopians as captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, ^bwith their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

5 ^aThen they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation and Egypt their glory.

6 And the inhabitant of this territory will say in that day, ‘Surely such is our expectation, wherever we flee for ^ahelp to be delivered from the king of Assyria; and how shall we escape?’ ”
